While on the topic of no thrust...

What are the settings for zero thrust on a NA Skymaster. My instructor dug these up a few years back and I recall keeping a copy, but now can't find it. In my 1965 Owner's Manual, there is no data given.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Dave, when you do the test, please note weight (how close to max load) and weather conditions (temperature). Also check carefully the specs for zero thrust, because temperature enters into the mix. Anxious to see what you get.

Here are the numbers from my 1968 model. Should be close to yours.

Thanks Herb

This page is not in my manual, so must be something they added between '65 and '68

Really appreciate you sending it along.

Bill
